another thing you're missing is the point that the sandinista hymn was playing backwards on the installation. a comment on ortega' 2nd term in the nicaraguan presidency?
and the dog was named after a burglar who was torn to pieces by rottweilers-- in the name of property rights.

Those are all regional statments that have little to do with the dog and the accusation of hypocrisy. If the dog was named something else and no song playing, would that change the central message of the starving dog?
